Summary (Recorded by Pang Kun):
中央研究院歷史語言研究所兼任研究院蔡哲茂教授來我院作題為《百年來殷先公先王研究的回顧》的報告。報告從20世紀初王國維從依據甲骨文對殷人「先公先王」這一問題的探討開始，探討了自茲以降海內外學者圍繞這一問題進行的爭辯，對多種不同意見的得失進行了評價，並認為應將《史記》殷人先公序列中的「昭明」、「相土」、「昌若」、「曹圉」等剔除去，而在殷人始祖「契」與「冥」之間補上「昧」，以契合甲骨文等出土材料的記載。報告又提出甲骨文的「內證法」，並藉助這一理論對殷人先王的世係及相關的一些概念進行了梳理，其結論則在一定程度上挑戰了傳統先王世係的排列。
